I am a member of the National Register of Hypnotherapists and Psychotherapists
and adhere to its ethical framework. As part of my work within the NHS,
I am also trained in harm reduction helping those suffering from the effects
of drug addiction.
I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), a rapid way of treating trauma. The reason it is so effective is because it is based on a natural healing ability whereby the mind heals itself during sleep, most notably during rapid eye movement. Francine Shapiro developed EMDR in 1987, using this natural process in order to successfully treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Since then, it has been used to effectively treat a wide range of mental health problems.

- PG Dip. Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy
- BSc (Hons) Psychology
- Cert. in Advanced Fertility through Hypnosis

Further information about the work that I do can be found at: www.calminsight.co.uk.
As well as the Baccentre, I also practice at the Harborne Complementary Health Clinic, 321 Harborne Lane, Harborne, Birmingham, B17 0NT.
I use an integrative approach to therapy, combining hypnosis with cognitive behaviour techniques (CBT) to help clients identify the underlying cause of presenting symptoms and change unwanted patterns of behaviour.
I provide an empathetic and non-judgemental environment for a client to
be able to explore difficulties in their life.
Conditions treated include:
- Anxiety & panic attacks
- Drug addiction
- Depression
- Emotional problems
- Weight management
- Phobias & allergies
- Breaking unwanted habits
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Migraine
- Obsessive compulsive disorder

What is Hypnosis?
The actual experience of trance is familiar to us all. It is a completely normal and natural state which is accessed by most people for at least 3 hours every day during so-called 'waking hypnosis': for example, when daydreaming, dozing in bed or reading an engrossing book.
In 'waking hypnosis', you are deeply relaxed, unaware of routine things happening around you and oblivious of time. 'Waking hypnosis' is nature's way of enabling us to switch off periodically throughout the day and to relax in order to be able to cope with the stress in our daily lives!
However, although 'waking hypnosis' and hypnosis are both characterized by focused concentration, relaxation, reduced movement, and sharper senses, suggestion is the key to hypnosis. In hypnosis, the conscious mind - our critical faculty - is less active and suggestions towards a specific goal can go directly into the subconscious mind.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is the application of hypnosis for the treatment and relief of a variety of physical and psychological problems through the Hypnotherapist making suggestions to bring about the beneficial therapeutic changes requested by the Client. No other suggestions are given!
How does Hypnotherapy work?
The conscious mind - our critical faculty - is used to make everyday decisions. However, our conscious mind is highly influenced by the subconscious - the much larger part of our mind of which we are unaware in the waking state. In hypnosis, the conscious mind is less dominant and the Hypnotherapist can talk directly to your subconscious mind and make beneficial suggestions in order to bring about your desired positive changes.
Can I be hypnotised against my will?
Absolutely not. All hypnosis is actually self-hypnosis and a hypnotist is only enabling the subject to access the hypnotic state by 'inducing' the trance. Therefore, the Hypnotherapist needs your full co-operation in order to induce a trance. Even when hypnotised, you can terminate the trance at any time simply by opening your eyes.
Can I be made to do anything that I object to?
Definitely not. If a hypnotist tried to compel you to do or say anything that you considered to be in any way inappropriate, it would cause you so much mental conflict that you would immediately come out of the trance by yourself. It is important, therefore, that the Hypnotherapist takes careful case notes in order to fit the suggestions to your individual personality and needs.
Will I forget what has happened during the trance afterwards?
You are always in control. You will remember everything you have experienced unless a loss of memory for specific events is produced by your own subconscious mind, for example, to protect yourself against issues you are not ready to deal with.
Could I not use my willpower instead of hypnosis?
You can try, but hypnosis is better than willpower because it uses the imagination. You can't will yourself into a sickness, but you can imagine yourself into or out of an emotional sickness! By using your imagination through hypnosis you can achieve permanent results.
How many sessions will I need?
The majority of problems treatable by hypnosis can be resolved in approximately 2-3 sessions. Deep-rooted problems will necessitate slightly more. Your case is considered individually and an indication of how many sessions you will need will be given at your initial session.
How long does a session last?
Each session lasts approximately 50 minutes.
Is it Confidential?
All treatment is provided in a completely safe, caring and confidential environment.
